Alongside the conduct of MIBF, the municipality of Torrijos was given recognition for being a gender-pilot municipality of KALAHI-CIDSS. Gender Specialist from the KALAHI-CIDSS National Project Management Office Ms. Lourdes Touriano gave the plaque of recognition to Mayor Gil Briones.
ASPIRING young journalists from Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan recently attended a three-day Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) in Tagaytay City and learned to use an online platform for publishing campus papers online.
 
The conference aimed to promote digital literacy through campus journalism. It was spearheaded by the Department of Education, in partnership with Smart Communications Inc., which developed the online platform as part of its online campus journalism program.
“Torrijos did a good job in integrating gender sensitivity in all activities of the Community Empowerment Activity Cycle (CEAC). This was made ossible with the help of both Area Coordinating Team and Municipal Coordinating Team of Torrijos. The great synergy of the two groups facilitated the successful conduct of KALAHI-CIDSS activities,” said Ms. Touriano.
During the training, Prof. Allen V. del Carmen, editor of Visayan Daily Star-StarLife, compared and contrasted print and online media, underscoring the advantages of the latter, especially in this digital age.
 
This was followed by a lecture and workshop on journ.ph, the online platform developed by Smart that enables schools to publish their campus news and features for free. Each publication was given a demo account to be able to access the site and upload their campus stories on the platform. After the workshop, the teacher-advisers and student writers were able to view their articles online via journ.ph.
Region IV-B is proud to be one of the two gender-pilot municipalities of KALAHI-CIDSS, which started implementation last year. ###
The conference aimed to identify the student writers who will participate in the annual National Schools Press Conference (NSPC)—the highest journalism competition in elementary and high schools in the Philippines.
